Yeah, it feels bad.
Here’s me lamenting that possibility before I got my kill:
Not once do I say “Well I deserve the bear because I sub”. I managed to put the elbow grease in and eventually beat the content pre-nerf, but I could have failed and fallen short and been a bit sad but at the end of the day, you have to acknowledge that you can’t be selfish and want to take an experience away from the younger gamers. They’re playing the game too, and is it really fair for you to want to have the content ruined for them just to satisfy your own ego?
